MILLERSBURG The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the shooting deaths of two Killbuck area residents.

The victims are Tiffany A. Doney, 26, and Robert G. McVicker Jr., 25.

According to Holmes County Sheriff Tim Zimmerly, deputies went to a residence at 10099 County Road 292 in Killbuck Township at 6:39 a.m. Monday for a welfare check.

They checked the residence and found it locked. After looking through windows, deputies determined they needed to make forced entry into the home, which they did.

Once they got inside the house, deputies found the bodies of Doney and McVicker, both victims of apparent gunshot wounds.

After the victims were located, the scene was secured, and BCI was called to the scene for processing, Zimmerly said.

Holmes County Coroner Dr. Robert Anthony was also called to the residence, where he examined the bodies along with BCI agents. The bodies were removed from the scene and transported to the Stark County Coroner's Office for autopsy.

Anthony said his office should get preliminary autopsy results Tuesday afternoon.Holmes County Prosecutor Steve Knowling also assisted at the scene.

BCI will be in charge of the investigation because McVicker was a family member of a current employee of the sheriff's office.
